a/n: content warning for bad attempt at a mildly steamy scene

You've noticed Jim has been a bit off lately, and even though he is holding you hostage, you feel for him. Hell, you've had your fair share of times where you've been in a place full of people an still felt isolated. Might as well try to help the guitarist out.

See, okay, the obvious answer is just to let him do whatever he wants to you. You're not a fan of first, giving up your body like that and second, not doing anything else to offer support. 

New strategy. 

...

Jim is nowhere to be found in the public areas of the house, which means that he's in his room. 

You hesitantly tap your knuckles on his closed door. It takes him a few moments to answer, but when he does, you notice that his hair is disheveled, he's got bags under his eyes, and he looks generally displeased. 

"What?" he says flatly.

Here goes nothing. "I've noticed you've seemed not really yourself recently, and I'm a bit worried about you, so," you pause, forgetting how you wanted to word this as Jim raises an eyebrow. "So I was just gonna say that if you needed, like, any kind of stress relief, I'm here whenever you need it."

You suddenly find it difficult to look right at #4. 

He himself doesn't know why it's hard to find the words to reply to you. He's ashamed that you've seen him in the midst of his depression, but the genuine kindness in your words makes him tear up and want to drop to his knees and sob his thanks before you. 

"Take care of yourself, okay?" you mutter before giving Jim a soft kiss on his cheek and walking away. 

...

Not an hour later, you discover Joey in his own state of vulnerability, curled up with his head tucked in his legs on the kitchen floor. His back is against the corner of the counter and his body trembles a bit. 

You kneel down in front of him and gently place your hand on his knee to let him know you're there. 

"Hey, what's wrong?" you mutter, sitting down fully. 

The drummer hesitates to look up at you, only giving you quick glances under his curtain of hair. He's relieved that his hair is able to hide a good amount of the definite redness in his face and his swollen eyes. 

"Here," you take his hands from his knees and massage them. Joey, overwhelmed once again with emotion, throws himself into your lap and holds onto you like you'll disappear if he lets go. His cries rack his body, so you hug him back just as tightly to hold him steady while whispering little reassurances to him. 

It takes a few minutes for him to calm down enough to stop crying, but he doesn't let go of you. You turn your focus of care to his hair, stroking it and pressing kisses into it. 

"It's gonna be okay, Joey. I promise," you mutter. "What do you need?"

"You," Joey rasps.

That definitely didn't just make your heart flutter a little bit. 

For the next 10 minutes at least, you keep holding Joey closely against you. He too refuses to let go of you. He nuzzles into the crook of your neck as you rub his back. 

Soon, you move to Joey's room to cuddle and take more care of him. 

Uh oh, you started making out with him. How unfortunate indeed. You trail your hand down his chest to graze your fingers on the bulge in his pants as you nip at a sensitive spot on his neck. 

"Mmh, Y/n," Joey hums. You tease him for a few strokes above his pants before unbuttoning them to take his cock into your hand. Joey grips your thighs as you jack him off. 

"Oh, fuck me," he moans. 

"Not tonight," you hesitate. "Soon, though."

You pump your hand faster around his cock, enjoying the groans you're receiving from the drummer as his hand moves gradually up your thigh. His other hand pulls you closer to him so he can bite and suck dark marks into your neck. 

"Mh, more," Joey begs, his hand moving between your legs to rub your clit. "Fuck, baby, I'm close."

He lets out a beautiful moan as he hits his climax. 

"There you go, darling. Feel better now?" you mutter as you push yourself off Joey.
